Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.1 may need not reboot PC, go straight to the xorgwizard.
Slacko 5.3.3 beta may need to reboot PC before the xorgwizard._________________Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.htmlLast edited by shinobar on Tue 24 Apr 2012, 23:49; edited 3 times in total

Thank you Shinobar - much appreciated - have downloaded and installed.

It seems to be working OK, but I think I'm a bit surprised at how low glxgears is reporting the frame rate - although I've nothing to compare it against for this new pc with nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a].

Shino: Looks like saluki is keeping the 3.2.8 kernel.Would you consider building a sfs for the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200? .I try to compile it myself but I failed misserabily. Thank you for all you do for the puppy comunity.

Hey folks. Im new to posting but have used puppy on and off for a few years.

I am having a problem with loading nvidia drivers for a geforce fx 5900 xt.
I am using puppy lucid 5.2.8 and tried the 174. drivers and, using an Acer 173 lcd monitor @1280x1024 res.

the generic drivers have the screen offset to the rt a bit.

If i install the nvidid 174. pup in the lucid repository, and after, i restart x server, it drops to prompt i have to use xorgwizard to unld driver because it wont load.

i also have this problem when i switch wm from openbox to xfce(installed wm). in that scenario, xorgwizard wont even run and have to hard reboot. Scrren centers correctly in xfce if I change refresh from 60 to 75(top edge is off a hair)

Is that the right driver for my vid card?
Does the xfce 4.6 wm in lucid repository trouble nvidia driver?

This is the only problem im having in puppy 5.2.8, getting the nvidia driver to take.
(I do get the error in the nvidia server settings that the driver isn't being used)
Thanks
